Goal

I need to find a goal no longer to live life of a broken soul Living a lie...just to get by I've past all the pain And left with there stain a new life is now in reach This new world beside the beach no longer do I continuously pray Hidden for so long I don't know where I belong To start it all over is as hard as an alcoholic...to stay sober Where do I begin? how far do I jump in? This new life is rather very frightening I'm scared and taunted But no longer am I haunted the first steps I have begun taken To walk with my head held high and awaken I have finally found my soul Now Lord, I ask what is to be my goal?

I am happy to see that your vocabulary has grown much after my previous comment and that you have fixed misspelled words. This poem is good, deserves 7 because it contains a good deal of creativity
